JMA Technologies shipped the fourth beta of MultiNote. This is the first beta in two years :-( MultiNote allows you to save different texts (information) in a uniform way. With Multinote you associate every text (ascii text, typed or from a file) with a searchable title. You define what information is related, MultiNote stores it for you.

With MultiNote you cn arrange your information in three levels:

1. You can have several database files
   
2. Each file has 15 divisions (tabs)
   
3. In each tabs you can have more than a thousand items (titles and text)
   

Its hard to describe MultiNote in words, try it out !!! For more information please visit our web site at:

NFTP 1.52 has been released 10 April 1999. This version fixes bugs found in 1.51 (one of them rather annoying; NFTP did not delete temporary files). OS/2 packages includes VIO, quasi-PM, terminal (to be run under xterm ) and X11 versions. User interface translations have reached 19 languages. You can download a copy from:

ftp://ftp.ayukov.com/pub/nftp/nftp152o.zip

The following was recently posted to comp.os.os2.advocacy by the Interim Editor-in-Chief of EDM/2:

EDM/2 is back in business with a new editorial team and a new issue for April '99.

The apparent lack of activity on the site for the past few months has been due to our learning the ropes and taking on the awesome responsibilities that Carsten has been performing for so long.

But we think you'll agree that the current issue has been worth the wait. We have three solid articles, including one by David Zimmerli on a newly discovered OS/2 API. We also have a host of new items in the news column and a new book review by Carsten.

Enjoy!

A week ago I made an announcement for a beta test of SecureDesktop. Only 3 (in words three) people showed interest. That's not enough for me. I will wait now another week before I send out the beta version. If there are no more interests then the project will die - Sorry.

Regards J. Dankoweit

SecureDesktop is a security system for system-logon, multiple user dependend and individual desktops (like UNIX).This is part of four modules, which are currently under development.

There is one more game development library. It's cross-platform (Linux, Solaris, BeOS, Win32)! It's actively developed! And it's open source! It's called SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) and still does not have an OS/2 port. But a number of developers work on comercial-grade games based on it (right now I can point to Linux port of Hopkins:F.B.I. and Civilization: Call To Power).
